To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Chapter 309 There is a demon

Palace Master Wen also narrowed his eyes, looking at the sincere young man in front of him, with a brilliance of unknown meaning in his eyes.

He tapped his fingers slightly on the bamboo table, seeming to be considering the reason why Kong asked about Kuruo Temple.

As well as everything involved in Kuruo Temple.

After a while, he said: "The documents related to Kuruo Temple have been burned long ago, and the few remaining records have been sealed in the royal library. I, the palace master, am not qualified to read them."

Kong Jiao was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard this.

But hearing the Palace Master's next words made his eyes light up again.

"I haven't read the relevant documents, but as the master of the palace, I know some rumors about Kuruo Temple."

"If Palace Master Wen could tell me, I would be very grateful." Kong Jiao immediately stood up seriously and bowed to Palace Master Wen with the courtesy of a junior, which was enough to save his face.

Wen Hongzhu frowned, looking at the young man in front of him who could find no fault with his style, and persuaded him: "Brother Kong, that Kuruo Temple is not a good place. Most of the rumors about it are full of horror. .”

"If you are just curious, my little sister would advise you not to get close."

"I have heard about this temple in Wudong. I heard that it was even more famous than the Shangzong Temple today when it was glorious. I have been fascinated by it for a long time."

"Now that I have finally come to Tianqi, I naturally want to see it." Kong Jiao had heard of Kuruo Temple in Wudong, and he polished the little bit of information he got from Bai Xiangming before telling him.

In addition, his sincere tone did not make Palace Master Wen and his daughter have too much suspicion.

After all, no one would have thought that there would be any opportunities in that place.

Seeing how determined Kong Jiao was, Master Wen couldn't help but try to persuade him. He took a sip of hot tea, relaxed his voice, and slowly told some of the rumors he had heard.

"There was an eminent monk in Kuruo Temple who was involved in creation. I heard that he had touched the edge of the legendary creation of mysticism."

"His Divine Ability is unpredictable. He can turn a desert into an oasis overnight, and he can also make all things wither with a single thought. He is also indifferent to the suffering of the world and does many good deeds. He is affectionately known as the Zen Master of Jishi by the people of Tianqi."

"Zen Master Jishi was a close friend of the then emperor Qingyun Gaozu. He often went to the palace to promote Buddhism to the princes."

"There was such an enlightened monk who was loved by the people and relied on by the royal family. The Kuruo Temple where he lived was devastated overnight."

"The life and death of Zen Master Jishi are unknown. All the disciples in the temple and even the birds, animals, insects and rats in the temple have disappeared."

"Not only did it cause an uproar in Tianqi, but even the eminent monks in Yunmo were alarmed and came to Tianqi to find out the cause."

"An old prince from the royal family came out of seclusion and joined forces with the eminent monk Yunmo to enter. However, he came out half a day later. Both of them remained silent."

"No one knows what they saw or what happened that night."

"It's just that after that day, all the documents about Kuruo Temple were burned, and the eminent monk Yunmo never set foot in Tianqi again, and it became a thousand-year unsolved case in Tianqi."

Kong Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He was indeed right. The Lord Wen in front of him knew many secrets of Kuruo Temple.

However, after hearing that Kuruo Temple, which was once famous in Tianqi, such a huge strength collapsed overnight, even the old prince of the royal family and the eminent monk Yunmo were unable to do anything.

There was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

"This Kuruo Temple is more dangerous than I imagined."

Hearing the Palace Master's words, there was deep fear in his eyes.

"Tianqi controls all information related to Kuruo Temple extremely strictly."

"On the other hand, there was a rumor coming back from Yunmo."

"It is said that the eminent monk who has been to Tianqi once talked about Kuruo Temple before he passed away."

Hearing these words from the Palace Master, he usually didn't even tell his daughter.

Not only did Kong Jiao listen carefully, but Wen Hongzhu also held his breath and listened carefully to every word.

"What did the eminent monk say?" This question was asked by Wen Hongzhu. She was afraid of Kuruo Temple, but she was even more curious.

Kong Jiao saw that the master of Wen Palace glanced at his daughter, then looked at him, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "The eminent monk in Yunmo said... There is a demon in Kuruo Temple."

"Demon?" Kong Jiao frowned.

This is a strange word. There is no such term in Wudong.

"We call them demons." Palace Master Wen continued to transmit the message and said in a meaningful tone: "The Gu border people call them gods."

"God! Witch God!" Kong Jiao subconsciously thought of the Witch God.

He didn't have much contact with the Gujiang monks, he was just a zaifu Qiaoqiao.

But he discovered a characteristic. When talking to Gu Jiang monks, three sentences can never be separated from a witch god.

Even Zaifu Qiaoqiao is no exception.

One can imagine how lofty the Witch God's status is in Gu territory.

But the word ‘god’ is not like a simple belief.

Almost every tribe in Gu territory will build altars to communicate with the ‘gods’ and offer sacrifices regularly.

This is why there are so many obscene sacrifices in Gu territory.

Even though countless witch cultivators died during the sacrifice, they seemed to enjoy it endlessly.

If you think about it carefully, Gu Jiang shaman cultivators must have benefited from the sacrifice.

Otherwise, who would rush to die for no reason?

And Kong Jiao thought of the shaman and snake god pattern on the soul-soothing bell in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It evolved from the black energy sucked from the sculpture of the Witch Snake God of the Witch Snake Tribe.

"Is it also a 'god'?"

Kong Jiao's thoughts flashed for a while and he thought about a lot.

"But why did Gu Jiang's 'god' appear in Tianqi? He was still the largest force in Tianqi at that time, other than the royal family." Kong Jiao softly sent a message to Palace Master Wen.

Palace Master Wen paused for a moment while holding the tea cup and expressed his guess: "Maybe he is not the 'god' of Gu Territory."

"If it's not the god of Gu Jiang, where is it? From Tianqi?" Kong Jiao shook his head and threw this idea away.

Tianqi and Gu are at odds with each other, and there is almost no means of sacrifice.

How can it be related to God?

In this way, there is no basis for the statement that there is a god in Kuruo Temple.

But the eminent monk Yunmo said clearly that suffering is like a demon in the temple.

"That's all I know." Palace Master Wen could say these words. Although they were not in documents prohibited by the royal family, they were already a taboo topic.

After saying that, he had no intention of staying and took his daughter to say goodbye.

Kong Jiao temporarily put away the countless distracting thoughts in his mind and politely sent the two of them outside the fence of the small courtyard.

Before leaving, Palace Master Wen looked at Kong Jiao's polite gesture and his joy when he sold him the Ascension Pill.

After hesitating for a moment, he still warned: "If you are just curious, little friend, you'd better not get close to the formation outside Kuruo Temple."

"Not to mention whether you can go in, I'm afraid there won't be much to gain after you go in."

"No matter what rumors you hear about Kuruo Temple in Tianqi, don't make fun of your own life. You have a bright future, don't let it go to Quanzhou, then Wen will be guilty of a big crime."

"The words of Palace Master, I will keep them in my heart." These words were obviously expressed with concern. How could Kong Jiao not know this and immediately bowed deeply to Palace Master Wen.

Then, with Wen Hongzhu's hesitant expression, Palace Master Wen drove the breeze and left the Qingzhu Courtyard.

Kong Jiao was left standing there with a melancholy look on his face, like a clay sculpture.

He didn't know how long it took, until a gust of wind blew, rustling the bamboos around the courtyard, and he finally came back from his thoughts.

A wry smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough, opportunities are not so easy to come by. I have to plan carefully and don't die here."
